Animal Dialogues: Uncommon Encounters in the Wild
Animal Dialogues: Uncommon Encounters in the Wild | Craig Childs
6 posts | 5 read | 6 to read
THE ANIMAL DIALOGUES tells of Craig Childs' own chilling experiences among the grizzlies of the Arctic, sharks off the coast of British Columbia and in the turquoise waters of Central America, jaguars in the bush of northern Mexico, mountain lions, elk, Bighorn Sheep, and others. More than chilling, however, these stories are lyrical, enchanting, and reach beyond what one commonly assumes an "animal story" is or should be. THE ANIMAL DIALOGUES is a book about another world that exists alongside our own, an entire realm of languages and interactions that humans rarely get the chance to witness.

Audio was ok. Similar to short stories, I found some more interesting than others, but it was easier than I‘d have liked to become distracted when listening. Some of the ones I was able to keep a bit more focus on: mosquito (and maybe not one one would have thought an essay to be written on!), squid, wasp, coyote, raven, pronghorn, bighorn sheep, praying mantis.

In The Animal Dialogues, Craig Childs explores one type of animal at a time, blending his own experiences with the species alongside interesting facts about them in gorgeous, lyrical prose. I cannot express how much I loved this book—it‘s going on my all-time favorites list and I now want to read absolutely everything he has written.

Soubhiville Oh wow, high praise! I‘m glad you liked it so much, and now I‘ll have to check him out. 3y
